Spinoro

The history of Spinoro goes back to Anakatech, an iGaming company that has been operating since 2012, originally established in Sofia, Bulgaria. The company describes itself as a spin-off of the former, which essentially means that these are the same company, simply different brands.

Now, this also explains why a company that has seemingly only been active since 2022 also has a portfolio close to two hundred casino games. Not to mention half-a-dozen gaming licences, and certificates from the major iGaming testing houses. It’s fair to assume that the two are fairly tightly connected, and for our purposes much the same company.

When it comes to gaming, the company is concentrated on the side games, rather than online bingo itself. For this purpose they have created online slots together with scratch cards. And that’s what we are going to have a look at next.

Online Slots

The company has a pretty lively release schedule, sometimes pushing out several games per month. Not all of these necessarily slots, but you’re pretty sure to find one fresh release every month. The total these days is close to one hundred, a number that is almost outdated at the time of writing this review.

These slots tend to offer a lot of variety, changing from low to high volatility, and from five reels to custom grids. At least, that is what the picture looks like at a glance. Let’s dive a bit deeper by taking a look at popular Spinoro slots:

• Spinning Fruits

Let’s start with something that is surely close to the classics. That’s as far as symbols go anyway, as the five reels have been expanded each with one extra symbol. This is then combined with 30 paylines, and wins that can reach over five thousand times the bet. For specials there are bonus spins and a travelling reel of wilds.

• Beer Garden

Surely a favourite for anyone playing at the pub. Compared to the above, there seems to be only minor changes. Reel setups are the same, and there’s only a handful less of the paylines. There are also bonus spins available. But the main difference is the fact that the wins can reach over eleven thousand times your bet!

• Savanna Spin

Leading the charge with expanding symbols, this nine paylines five reeler also comes with pretty high wins. Some of these can be achieved by bonus spins, multipliers, and wilds, with a pick-me bonus games for some smaller random wins.

• Christmas Spin

This one would probably be better named as Christmas Spins, as bonus spins play a great role here. The festive theme might be joyous, but you can be sure that the game itself is still all about those exciting moments looking for the perfect line-up of symbols.

• Thunder Plains

The thundering hooves tremble the plains, and you can definitely feel it on all five reels here. If you play your cards just right, you might enter the bonus spins with the help of an extra wild. And together with the normal wild, this can lead to wins reaching almost thirteen thousand times the bet.

• Pyramid Spin

A rare game opting for smaller wins, with much lover volatility to go with them. At the same time, the theme is definitely a familiar one, perhaps even a trope amongst slot producers. For a standard gameplay experience, this slot with bonus spins goes far.

• Wizard Fortune

Definitely one of the Spinoro slots with the highest win potential. Score up to 30 000 times the bet through the five reels via thirty paylines. Bonus games, multipliers, and wilds of all sorts pay a major role in expanding those normal paytable combinations into magical fortunes!

• Full Moon

Only fifteen paylines this time, with a slightly darker theme than the relaxed and entertaining setups you’ve read about above. But it’s not as high stakes as the vampire theme would have you believe, given that this is a low volatility slot. Relax with these spins, and aim for the bonus spins.

• Gem-X

A touch more modern slot from Spinoro, fit for play on all devices. Diamonds don’t come for free and without a risk, and that’s why this is a slot of very high volatility. But if all goes according to plan, and you hit those bonus spins with all their added modifiers, the wins can be shockingly high.

• Caishen’s Fortune

This theme has become almost mandatory for anyone seeking a bit of Asian flavour for their slots. Luckily, this game does have an actual fortune going for it, whilst the special features are notably different from the other slots in our list.

Common Characteristics

One of the reasons that the company has been able to quickly increase the number of slots available is the fact that these games are not all that different from each other. Not that they are carbon copies or reskins, meaning that only the theme would change. But simply that the mechanisms and features don’t change all too much from one release to the next.

In fact, pretty much all games fall into either the 5x3 or 5x4 setup, with varying numbers of paylines. And it’s a rare game that wouldn’t use paylines. The wins trend hardly towards massive pots, which isn’t all that different from the general trends in casino gaming. Luckily, there are more than a few games that offer options for lower volatility. RTPs tend to be a bit under the average, though not considerably so.

Bonus spins and multipliers seems to be the favourite combo for the developers. Occasionally wilds will also get secondary functions, like expanding through the reels, stacking, or coming with multipliers. Beyond this it’s a rare game that brings something more, such as bonus or mini-games.

All in all, there are no big surprises here. If you’re an adventurous player, you might check for some more modern and innovative game developers. However, if it’s the familiar setup you’re after, there are more than enough options to keep you occupied and entertained.

Scratch Cards

Nearly half of the gaming selection from Spinoro is made of scratch cards. Now these games are never too complicated, and you won’t find a single provider that would offer much beyond the basics. That, on the other hand, also makes them perfect side games. Especially if you’re looking for something relatively fast and easy.

Here’s a list of Spinoro scratch cards to get you started:

• Sunshine Bay
• Bars & Bells
• Caishen’s Fortune
• Super Stars
• Farm Scratch
• Zodiac
• Tiki Treat
• Snakes & Ladders

There doesn’t seem to be a standard setup for these games, beyond the match three structure. Otherwise, you might run into grids, or just random positions. All you need to do is scratch away and reveal matching symbols.

Some games, like Rolling Diamonds, are a tad bit different. In fact, closer to keno and other number games, though still presented as scratch cards. In other titles, albeit quite rarely, you might run into some rudimentary bonus features. These tend to simply give an extra chance of winning something, and in a few cases adding multipliers to other possible wins.

The possible prizes vary a lot, and just like in normal scratch cards you are much more likely to hit the lower range, than the top pots paying out tens of thousands.

Licensing and security

The legacy of the parent company, or the previous brand known as Anakatech, shows in the fact that Spinoro holds plenty of licences. Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, Gobierno de España, on top of being credited in countries like Romania and Switzerland.

And as if the above would leave any doubt about licensing and security, the company has also undergone testing by Quinel, GLI, iTech Labs, and Trisigma. On top of this, they are ISO certified. We dare say it’s a pretty secure combination.

Conclusion

So if the company doesn’t offer bingo games, why are these games popular with bingo players? Probably because these are pretty simple and easy to understand casino games. The slots and scratch cards are a perfect companion as side games for any bingo site.

On top of this, the company seems to be extremely popular in the UK, which is the traditional main market for all bingo players. Simplicity, big wins, a safe and secure environment are definitely the main selling points for these games.

At the same time, Spinoro still has some development to do. Whilst providing a large number of games, they don’t have sufficient diversity in that selection. Likewise, what they offer does lack a bit in the bonus department and other similar tools that would drive player enjoyment and engagement.

All in all, if you come across these games we suggest having a look.
